The Mexican standout

“Architect Ricardo Legorreta has eye-popping ideas when it comes to using colour, writes Elizabeth Farrelly.

Ricardo Legorreta is a Mexican architect. Symbolically, in fact, and in the world’s eyes, he is the Mexican architect, much as Glenn Murcutt is the Australian architect. Unlike Murcutt, who introduced Legorreta at his Sydney lecture last month, Legorreta hasn’t yet won the Pritzker (architecture’s top prize). But he was on its jury for 10 years and has won pretty much everything else - including the American Institute of Architects’ Gold Medal - so the Pritzker can’t be far off.”
